Selling used cameras in Reno has never been easier! Attending a buying event at Gordon’s is a great way to sell your used equipment without the hassle of selling it online and the worry associated with shipping it across the country. Another benefit to attending a GPS buying event is that we will often offer a trade-in value. That means you might be able to receive in-store credit for old cameras and apply the credit toward purchasing a new camera!

All you need to do is bring in the camera gear you have for sale and a valid ID. We will handle the rest! Since these buying events are popular, there may be a wait from time to time to see our buyer. To alleviate the wait, we offer appointment only days.

Here are some things to keep in mind about our used camera buying events:

Prices on camera gear can fluctuate depending on supply and demand. If you are thinking about buying a new camera, it may be beneficial to sell your camera before the latest model is released as buy prices generally drop once a newer model is on the market.

We are not always able to make an offer to purchase certain older or broken items; however we will certainly be happy to help you recycle the items in an environmentally friendly manner if you would like to donate them.

Have more than 6 items? Avoid lines and drop off your equipment in advance. We’ll call you with an offer.

As an alternative, the Nevada astronomical society will the entire event streaming live on their website here.

Check out what UPS delivered today! We are pleased to announce that we are now an official GigaPan dealer and we plan to carry their award winning Epic series.

For those who aren’t familiar with the product line, the Epic series is a line of revolutionary robotic camera mounts designed to produce ultra high resolution gigapixel plus sized images by creating an automated matrix of images to be stitched together using Gigapan software. Note that an image that is one gigapixel in resolution contains 1 billion (10^9) pixels or 1000 megapixels. Check out sample photos and some videos on the mounts here.

From the manufacturer:

Capture phenomenal depth and clarity in multi-gigapixel panoramas with the remarkable EPIC Pro. Strong enough to hold a camera and lens combination of up to 10 lbs., EPIC Pro will take hundreds, even thousands of detailed individual photos for one intricate gigapan. With the new GigaPan Stitch software, these photos are efficiently combined into a seamless panorama and uploaded to GigaPan.com, where you can view, share and explore.
